Things to consider before you buy

For most balikbayans and Filipinos working overseas, nothing is more satisfying than coming back home to re-establish your roots and rediscovering your culture. To many Filipinos all over the world, home is still right here where the family, the memories and the heart are.

And for many Filipinos who have been working abroad, purchasing a home in the Philippines is on top of the list.

The endless possibilities that the Philippine real estate industry offers make what was once a rather dull process an exciting one now. Investing in Philippine properties has become more promising brought about by the following factors:

Low barrier to entry

Affordable with prices starting from as low as USD40,000

High return on investment

Projected rental yields of more than 10%

Good capital growth prospects

Whether you are looking for a sleek & spacious condo with a prestigious address, an eco-friendly urban sanctuary, a starter home for a young family, an efficient and centrally-located unit, or an airy and large house in the suburbs, the options are as many as they are varied.

Tens of thousands of foreigners and expatriates have also made their homes in the Philippines over the past years. The Philippines is among the best Asian countries for expatriates when it comes to overall quality of life.

Access to quality healthcare, international schools, and business opportunities are easy and affordable. Leisure and recreational activities are also plentiful. Malls, restaurants, casinos, sports facilities and other sources of amusement abound in every city in Metro Manila and in most of the major cities in the provinces. While pristine beaches, majestic mountains and other natural wonders are scattered all over the rest of the country.

Whether you’re a Filipino balikbayan coming home to enjoy the benefits of your hard work or an expatriate looking for a new place to call home, there is a place in the Philippines for you. But before you decide to commit to purchasing a new real estate property, here are some important points to consider first:

What purpose will the home you intend to buy fulfill? Is it a retirement home? An upgrade for your young family based here? Is it for an investment? Knowing why you are buying a property will help guide you in making the right purchase.

What are the important features that you require in the property you are about to buy? Location, amenities and size are just some of the things you need to consider when deciding on a property. Making a list of all the features based on their importance to you will help in narrowing down your choices.
